Anyone who does not recognize the legitimacy of the Basic Law does not recognize the election result created within its framework, and thus, in the appropriate case, not even his own victory - Szikra Levente told Magyar Nemzet in connection with the fact that the opposition would throw the Basic Law in the trash if it won in 2022 .
The analyst of the Center for Fundamental Rights also spoke about the fact that the opposition arbitrarily regards the Basic Law as illegitimate, threatens its political opponents with prison, considers people guilty even without a court verdict, and openly promotes the violation of the rules of constitutional and legislative procedure. .
Below is an excerpt from this article.
According to the expert, anyone who refuses to take the oath to the Basic Law cannot be considered legitimate, nor can he exercise his rights arising from his position. He indicated that it is an important circumstance that if the left-wing opposition were to win the 2022 elections, it would do so on the basis of the Basic Law, since the electoral law also fits into the legal order defined by it.
Anyone who does not recognize the legitimacy of the Basic Law does not recognize the election result created within its framework, and therefore, in the appropriate case, not even his own victory. This is also true for local government elections, so Gergely Karácsony is ultimately the mayor of Budapest based on the Basic Law - the co-chairman of the Párbeszéd has already taken the oath twice on the document, which he would now throw out - he said.
According to his opinion, if an elected representative does not comply with the laws in force, it sends a message that the citizens do not have to comply with them either, that is, the country would descend into anarchy.
Levente Szikra also touched on the fact that the tradition of swearing an oath has developed in all democracies throughout history, so it can be considered a kind of democratic moral basis that the elected leader takes an oath. - Anyone who refuses to do so does not accept the common democratic rules of the game, so in addition to illegality, such behavior is of course also wrong from a moral point of view.
By the way, all of the current opposition representatives and mayors have sworn to the Basic Law before, so they also discredit themselves with such revelations, he emphasized.
The analyst pointed out that there is no legal possibility for the opposition's statement that two-thirds laws would be amended or abolished with a half majority.
The Basic Law clearly defines the rules that require a two-thirds majority to be changed, and of course the Basic Law itself also falls within this scope. If the Parliament were to break these rules, the Constitutional Court would annul the decision, because breaking the rules of procedure – for example, if a law was not passed by the required majority – results in public law invalidity. Legislation that is invalid under public law cannot enter into force, he explained.
According to Levente Szikra, voters are deceived by those who promise to amend legislation with a simple majority.
